Pulling up the vines
All these little lies
Growing around me
Oh, it's getting hard to tell
What is real and what's a spell
Lately

Am I just the prey
For the hungry hounds out sniffing
For the spin doctors on missions
For the noise everybody makes?
I can't keep running
Into minefields of explosives
Into traps that keep on closing
Into all those same mistakes

Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
I'm calling for the jaws of life
Come help me out, I'm not alright
I'm in the mouth of madness
Where the devil pulls all the strings
Watch his marionettes dance and sing
The Cheshire cat is smiling
In the mouth of madness

In the mouth of madness
I'm in the mouth of madness
I'm in the mouth of madness
I'm in the mouth of madness

Paranoia dream
My reality
Is now pulp fiction
Questions I can't help but ask
Keep eroding every path
I've taken

I can't play by the rules
When the truth's always shapeshifting
All my thought-crimes, yeah they might kill me
Little fly on the spider web
